Didn't he give up the game by letting it go to a vote rather than preemptively ordering the release immediately? Pretty sure it's another stall tactic, just one born of desperation.

As his time in office steadily decreases, more and more people on the right will start trying to peel away Trump’s power. The vote on the Epstein files will be an accelerant to that process.

if we take it to be true that the tariffs are aimed at getting americans to buy US-made products, then what's the point of rolling them back when they become painful? the entire point is to cause financial pain to change consumer behavior. what's the strategy here?

Musk does not get 1/1000th of the grief he should over this absurd claim about 20 million dead people getting Social Security. Social Security is run far better than Tesla and provides a way more valuable service.
Imagine shareholders willing to give a trillion dollars to a guy who says there are 20 million dead people getting Social Security, but is too incompetent to find any of them.
With Tesla stock at a price-to-earnings ratio of almost 300 it doesn't look like anyone is buying what Elon Musk is selling, other than Tesla shareholders finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/
